Visited this very unique place on a recent visit to NJ. The Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum located in Hamilton Township, New Jersey on the former site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Founded in 1992 by John Seward Johnson II, the venue was intended to be dedicated to promoting an understanding of and appreciation for contemporary sculpture by organizing exhibitions, publishing catalogs, and offering a variety of educational programs and special community events. The grounds have over two hundred and seventy large-scale contemporary sculptures, with works by Johnson and other American and international artists. The park's outdoor collection grows by fifteen sculptures annually.

A few years ago we had about 20 of his sculptures on display here in Chesterfield Mo. One was of a man reclining in a lawn chair. It was near the City Pool and there were many calls to the local PD for an unresponsive person in the park

It's amazing, they really do look like real people but everything is bronze, sneakers, pants, even the newspaper

Garceh, yes, they were taken with my cell phone. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy 6 (not the Edge). It's not a perfect phone but it takes great photos and it's really amazing the amount of custom functions you now have, white balance, ISO, exposure compensation, ability to take a virtual shot, great panorama, some selfie functions I haven't even figured out yet etc. I'm not sure what the max telescopic length is but it's pretty long.
